Fast, Simple Installation for Any Surface
One of the benefits of a shelter solution from Shelter Structures is fast, easy installation. All welding, drilling, fabrication and other manufacturing steps have been completed at the factory, so installation sometimes does not require special tools or skilled labor.
Your tensioned fabric shelter can be mounted on almost any surface.
- Concrete– Shelters are anchored using anchor bolts set in epoxy cement.
- Asphalt or soil– Shelters are typically anchored using helical piles.
- Ballast – For short term applications or in areas where ground penetration is to be avoided, shelters are anchored using ballast, typically large concrete blocks set just inside the fabric perimeter.
- Sea Containers– Shelters for remote locations are often mounted on sea containers. We can provide the containers for shipping, which can then be used for on-site secure storage.
- Pilings and Stem Walls– For these applications, shelter frames are designed with custom base plates for mounting the shelter securely.
